"Justin is one of the most inspiring and knowledgeable teachers I have ever worked with. I had been teaching myself for a long time, and I knew I was missing a lot. In just the first few weeks with Justin, I started to understand his philosophy of production and my music started to take off. Thank you, Justin!"
PAUL DREMMER

"When I started studying with Justin, I already had been producing in Ableton for 5 years. Justin showed me his workflow and changed my whole game. The fact that he is fluent in so many production styles makes him the ideal teacher. And he loves to help people, and just has an awesome approach to making music that is really unique."
HENRIQUE SILVA
SAO PAOLO, BRAZIL
"He's just the dopest production teacher on the planet! I went to lots of other online music production courses where the teachers were dry and boring. Justin makes learning fun! And he totally knows what he is doing, and knows how to show it. I learned a ton in the first week!"
